I think this song was the inspiration for the Muppet theme.

Nice shot of the Kranzler Restaurant, before it was blown to smithereens in a bombing raid. They re-opened on the KuDamm and only closed a few years ago.

@IPMVerlag People where'nt put camps because of the swing, where did you get from that idea? Probably from some propaganda history books. Swing was very popular music in dancing places late 30's and 40's world wide, except in soviet Union of course. Even Goebbles loved it and UFA used many swing melodies in their music films, like "Die Frau meiner Träume" (1943)

Statue on column from "Wings of Desire", "Himmel uber Berlin" at start of film. What a beautiful city.

The "swing" the Nazis objected to was a bohemian youth culture that did not accept their indoctrination--these young people enjoyed swing music and danced in an uninhibited manner--the word 'swing' was used against them.

@jamjamsterjiggidyjay But then too, of an equivalent mindset, the "occupy Wall St." stuff also, will result in nothing good because, . . . it cannot—right?

[phillipgaley]

@jamjamsterjiggidyjay . . . . Moselm slums; and equally, the rebellion in Egypt and all such similar, cannot in anywise turn out to a better Egyptian standard of living—wouldn't you agree, or, would you need to wait say, 3 years, or maybe, 30 years, to see their folly proved out?
